A generously proportioned and characterful dales cottage dating from circa 1690 and offering well balanced three double bedroom accommodation with two reception rooms and a welcoming hall. Being in the centre of Dent and equal distant from the Sun Inn and the church, the choice is yours!

Location: Dent has a thriving community and boasts a well renowned primary school, village store, church, Dent railway station, cafes and public houses. The location is just 5 miles from the many amenities available in Sedbergh, junction 37 of the M6 is within easy reach and the market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is 10 miles away.

Property Overview: Built in circa 1690, Church Gate Cottage as the name suggests, is located next to the village church of St Andrew’s right in the heart of the village. Improved and updated over the years, the cottage has the benefit of the charm and character of its era blending with modern day comforts of double glazing, brand new central heating boiler and recently installed Hyco electric hot water boiler.

Stepping inside, a warm welcome awaits those that view with original flagged flooring, exposed timbers and stone work all showcased in the generous entrance hall; great as a second dining or living space for entertaining friends and family with access into the ground floor living spaces, along with a stone staircase that leads up to the first floor. There is also a handy under the stairs cupboard.

The sitting room to the left of the hallway is full of charm with a bay window overlooking the cobble street to the front and two side windows enjoying distant fell views. To complete the character of the room is the open fireplace and a wealth of exposed beams and stonework.

The dining room overlooks the church yard to the rear as does the breakfast kitchen, and a cloakroom just off the dining room offers that all important downstairs WC.

The breakfast kitchen has two windows both with deep sills and is fitted with a range of wall and base units with complementary working surfaces and a single drainer stainless steel sink. There is space for a slot in oven and fridge freezer, along with space and plumbing for a washing machine.

Upstairs opening off the landing are three double bedrooms, bathroom and useful storage cupboard, with bedroom one having an original oak door. All the bedrooms enjoy delightful aspects of village life and distant views.

The bathroom has a window, part tiled walls and a radiator and heated towel rail to warm the room. A four piece suite comprises a panel bath with tiled splash back, a panelled shower cubicle with Mira shower, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. A shelved cupboard houses the Hyco electric boiler and central heating boiler with Hive controls.
